I know its only the early part of August but around here it definitely feels like we've turned that corner into Fall. I could have really used some more uncomfortably hot days. Come on, whats a Michigan summer without your legs sticking to every chair you sit down on?
Speaking of sitting down, I sat (or perched rather) on my bicycle for an entire (or at least the better part of) a day. Why? Because I finally accomplished a goal that has been on my list of things, I rode a century. 100 miles. In a day. ....without any real training....and without tuning my bike up. I'm way less proud of those last two bits of information. But anyway. Check it off. Whew. Truly the only reason I did this massive ride was because I was shamed by my father :) More or less. Well, truly he is the only reason I actually finished that beast of a ride. And he drove us home while I was pretty much dead to the world. And he finished out the day running after my 3 year old while I lay like a slug on the couch. Yes, it broke me.
But I finished :) And that, in the end, is what counts!
My padre, cool as a cucumber
Quite possibly the Red Lantern of the Holland 100 :)
btw- celebrated 5 years married to this guy :)
A few hot days at the beach
family tattoos at the air show
Big fan :)
Cousins reunited!
General silliness
Plenty of snacking
And blueberry picking!
That's my kind of summer :)
